Shen Lansui was confused: "How to say?"
Lu Xingyue looked at her and said, "The eldest lady is the legitimate second daughter of Congyang County Prince. She has an older sister and a younger brother. As for the concubine sisters, as far as I know, there are several, but the eldest lady has always claimed to be of noble status. , never disdain to associate with brothers and sisters born from concubines, so the relationship with several concubine sisters is actually very ordinary, and can even be said to be strangers. How could such a person do something like taking his niece into his home after his concubine sister died? ?”
"I see." Shen Lansui nodded.
No wonder the eldest lady is so stubborn. It turns out that she is the legitimate daughter of the county king. Although Prince Congyang has no real power and is just a wealthy and idle man, he is not something that ordinary people can compare to. He is a king with a different surname, and his father has really made great achievements. For his father's sake, His Majesty respected him for his military exploits.
It seems normal for the eldest lady to feel superior to others.
"And her concubine has been dead for so long before she even thought about taking her over. It's obvious what her intentions were." Lu Xingyue's eyebrows slightly raised.
Shen Lansui picked up the teapot and gave him some tea, and said leisurely: "If the eldest lady is interested, it depends on whether we are willing or not. If we are not willing, is she still going to force it? I will not care about her face. She wants to If you dare to use your identity to oppress others, I will go out and cry."
Lu Xingyue imagined the scene of Shen Lansui crying along the street, and couldn't help but laugh, "That's not the case. If she really dares to mention it, I will naturally refuse. If she wants to take advantage of your identity as mother-in-law, you Just push it to me and wait until I come back to deal with it."
"I feel relieved with your words." Shen Lansui pushed the tea cup in front of him: "Sanlang drinks tea."
Lu Xingyue's lips curled up slightly, "Okay."
Neither of them took Zhou Mengli seriously, so they slept together after taking a bath.
The weather is getting colder and colder. The ground dragon is burning in the house. The room is warm, but the bed is cool.
Shen Lansui was lying there alone and wanted to shrink into a ball.
She looked at the people around her and suddenly remembered his warm hands when he rubbed her belly before.
That's so warm!
But would it be bad if she just rolled over?
Shen Lansui struggled for a while, then quietly opened his eyes a crack to take a peek at Lu Xingyue.
Her night vision was not as good as Lu Xingyue's, so she couldn't see clearly and could only vaguely see the outline.
Listening to his steady breathing, Shen Lansui guessed that he was asleep, so he tiptoed and nuzzled towards him.
After rubbing for a while, you look up and if you see that no one is awake, continue rubbing.
Shen Lansui was a little cold at first, but after working as a "thief" for a while, she became warmer.
The small distance on the bed made her feel like she was out of the realm of Chu, He and Han.
Shen Lansui finally came to Lu Xingyue's side and saw that he was still sleeping soundly. Shen Lansui was relieved and gently opened his quilt between her two fingers. She could already feel the heat even before he got in.
Shen Lansui rubbed his hands in his mind, there are advantages to having more than one person on the bed!
However, before she could move, a big warm hand suddenly covered her waist. After tightening it, she was pulled into bed with a strong force.
Shen Lansui: "??!"
She pressed tightly against Lu Xingyue's body through a thin layer of tunic, and her whole body felt warm from the inside out.
There was a chuckle above his head, and Shen Lansui's ears went numb, and she asked in a low voice, "Are you pretending to sleep?"
Lu Xingyue turned over and held her whole body in his arms. He lifted the quilt and covered her, so that the two of them were facing each other and hugging each other.
The quilt was tucked tightly by Lu Xingyue, and Shen Lansui felt like he was wrapped in a large heating blanket, which was self-heating without being plugged in.
Originally he wanted to struggle, but thinking about his cold bed, Shen Lansui immediately shrank into Lu Xingyue's arms.
"Can't sleep, Xiao Lu, are you worried about something?"
Lu Xingyue put his chin on the top of her hair and whispered, "Well, I forgot to ask you a question."
"What?" Shen Lansui put her hands around his waist, being careful not to touch him directly to avoid chilling him.
Lu Xingyue noticed that Shen Lansui's invisible eyes gradually became gentler. He reached back and grabbed Shen Lansui's hand and wrapped it in his big hand. He said softly: "I'm thinking about your Gu. You said you can control it." , but I’m always worried if I don’t take it out.”
Shen Lansui didn't expect that he was worried about this, so he paused and said, "Actually, it's not that it can't be taken out."
"Huh?" Lu Xingyue was obviously excited, "How do I get it?"
"Gu worms are bugs. As long as they are alive, they can be forced out. I have been trying to use magic to control it in the past few days and let it move out slowly. It was a bit unfamiliar at first and failed, but now I can drive it away. If you just take a few steps, you may be able to force it out completely in a while."
Lu Xingyue finally felt relieved. He held Shen Lansui's hand tightly and whispered, "Tell me when the time comes and I'll get it for you."
Although there is nothing that can be used for him, but it allows him to watch with his own eyes and have a sense of participation, Shen Lansui will not refuse, "Okay."
With the matter he cared about most resolved, Lu Xingyue kissed Shen Lansui gently on the top of his head, "Go to sleep."
Shen Lansui adjusted his posture and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
*
The next day, Lu Xingyue went to Jinyiwei as usual, and Shen Lansui went to Zhou Mengli's yard after breakfast.
Before entering the door, I heard Lu Jingzhi's voice, "Should I call you cousin or cousin?"
Zhou Mengli smiled: "I'm a month older than you, you should call me cousin."
"But I think you are smaller than me." Lu Jingzhi looked at her and shook his head, "You look smaller everywhere, which makes you feel pitiful."
Zhou Mengli's face turned red, "Where is it?"
"Why not?" Shen Lansui stood at the door but did not come in. He smiled and said, "Jing Zhi is here too."
Lu Jingzhi and Zhou Mengli stood up together, "Sister-in-law."
"Cousin, come in and talk."
"I'm just here to give you a gift." Shen Lansui stepped over the threshold and saw the needle and thread on the low table, and couldn't help but take a second look.
Zhou Mengli noticed it and explained: "I have nothing to do and do some needlework to pass the time."
Shen Lansui nodded. The fabric was clearly a color commonly used by men, but she didn't pierce it.
She waved to Shang Xia behind her, and Shang Xia immediately handed over a small mahogany box.
Lu Jingzhi laughed when he saw the familiar box, "Sister-in-law didn't give me another butterfly hairpin, right?"
Zhou Mengli was confused: "Again?"
Lu Jingzhi stroked the hairpin on his temples and said, "The one you praised just now was given to me by my sister-in-law. It was painted by her herself."
"Really?" Zhou Mengli was startled and looked at Shen Lansui in surprise.
Shen Lansui smiled without saying a word and opened the box to show her, "This time it's not a butterfly hairpin, it's a new style I designed, this time it's a pear blossom."
Lying on the red velvet cloth is a shiny white hosta. The hosta is carved with clusters of pear blossoms, and is embellished with green velvet flowers to look like green leaves. It looks really fresh and beautiful.
Zhou Mengli fell in love with her as soon as she saw her.
Dream pear, pear blossom.
"Did my cousin make this specially for me?" (End of Chapter)
